Wokhay is a new Chinese dinning restaurant that opened up near Green Island (it’s before the entrance). I have to say the food I tried was better than excepted. We ate a big variety but I’ll focus on the food we enjoyed most on this post. Sultan Center card holders have a 30% discount for a limited time, which is a great discount in my opinion.

I have tried the Hot & Sour Soup more times than I can remember but have never liked it until now, this one tasted just right. It’s a popular Asian soup that comes with small chicken pieces, spring onion and crispy wanton strips. To open up your appetite I would recommend ordering this, and it’s not a light soup might I add.

Chicken Lettuce Wrap was also a really good appetizer, it’s kind of obvious you have to pour some chicken on a big lettuce wrap and crunch your way through it. The appetizer doesn’t come with a sauce so if you’re crazy about sauces like I am, I would recommend ordering a dynamite sauce on the side.

Apparently no Chinese restaurant is a Chinese restaurant by Kuwaiti standards if it doesn’t serve Dynamite Shrimp. Their dynamite shrimp tasted similar to the one at PF Changs except you get a bigger portion, I would say you get around an additional 50% of shrimp.

Ridley’s Burger is not a franchise although it sounds like one, it was founded by the same owner of Triangle Restaurant. I went with friends the other day and liked the burger a lot, so I went back a few weeks later and bought my camera to take photos of the food.

What I love about the place is they only have a simple 1 page menu with 3 burgers. It’s like going to a steak place where you just pick how well-cooked you want your steak to be. They do have one chicken burger if you’re not a meat person. The salad above is the Regent Salad, comes with rocket leaves, feta cheese and pine nuts with a ribbon of pumpkin.

Both times visiting the place I had their signature Ridley’s Burger, because I liked it a lot the first time I didn’t want to risk trying something else the second time around. It’s a simple combination of the patty with lettuce, onions, homemade ketchup and a huge pickle in soft toasted potato.

They also have a unique combination of fries including Homemade Fries (shown above) and Pumpkin Fries. My recommendations are their Home Fries and Onion Rings that comes with a ranch sauce that has a unique mix where the sauce kind of tastes like yoghurt.

To finish it off we went with ‘The Gamble‘, that is literally is what the dessert is called. It’s a chocolate fudge topped with Nutella hazelnut spread and vanilla ice-cream. It was an okay dessert, definitely not for one person. Ridley’s Burger is located at Salhiya Mall on M2 floor.

The delivery came at a good time, I was craving having noodles in a box. Around a week before the holy month of Ramadan, Spice Tree contacted me asking if I were willing to try their dishes so I went for it. They add no MSG on any of their food which is always a good bonus.

The first thing I noticed were how good the noodle boxes were, although some of them were filled with sauce none of them leaked or even got wet. This is very handy for deliveries, you kind of always get something leaking when you order a lot of Chinese food, but my experience went with no drippings.

Overall I liked the food, it will definitely satisfy your Chinese noodle cravings, although I’m not sure what they had for dessert. Below is a gallery of some of the dishes I tried. Spice Tree is available on Talabat or takeout delivery by calling 22281515.

I normally don’t like when a restaurant specialises in everything because then everything will taste okay, rather than having a specific type of dish taste really good. This wasn’t the case with Coco Cabana, they had a huge variety and the most of the dishes they serves were great.

The Dynamite Shrimp Salad tasted as good as it looked. It was a combination of shrimp, corn and lettuce. We actually tried a caesar salad with some cookie cubes (picture in gallery) and it was a good combination except there was a lot of lettuce.

I got a pretty nice tour a few days ago first showcasing the work of the French interior designer behind Katsura, Philippe Starck, then reviewing Katsuya. I tried a big range of dishes and some were pretty impressive, like the bop mushroom which tasted a lot like a traditional rice and mushroom homemade dish.

The exhibition of Philippe Starck is located close to Dean & Deluca. It showcases some of his work and on-going projects. Starck has done more than 1,000 projects so if you think Katsuya’s interior design was impressive you’ve probably only seen the tip of an iceberg. You can read a ton about him on his wiki page [here].

This Katsuya was the first one to open outside the U.S, it’s also the first ‘masculine’ looking Katsuya. Other Katsuya’s had a geisha theme revolving around it and that might not be tolerated by some parts of the Kuwaiti society so they had a warrior Japanese oriented theme instead.

I passed by Babak at the Avenues to review the restaurant as well as see how good the Sigma 18 -35 mm lens handles food photography. The results were impressive, the lens and the food were great. Some of the photos were too focused but that wasn’t a big deal.

The difference between Villa Babak and Babak is the menu, this one has more items and in my opinion it’s like the prestige version of Babak. At first I thought they were Iranian, but then I saw hummus on their menu, to top it off they even had Caesar Salad as you can see above.

They have this signature Badenjan salad which I recommend trying, it’s pretty heavy but worth it if you like eggplant. It comes with labna and other spices, I had it with a loaf of bread and it was a good combination.continue reading»

The first thing I liked about Oliversan was how their lights are of hanging bowler hats, which is also their restaurant logo. I would recommend this place for those who love sauce over everything. I think every single dish they served had a sauce either on the dish or on the side.

Their Crispy Prawn Dragon was my favourite appetizer. It’s similar to P.F Changs shrimp appetizer except better because it comes in smaller portions. Comes with mixed vegetables and a special sweet & chilli sauce. It’s not as spicy either, which was a bonus for me.

I’ve been wanting to review Eight for a while and finally managed to pass by the place, located next to Al Raya Complex. The place has a lot of gold-plated stuff, along with the menu. Their menu is really small, around 4 pages but their dishes not only look unique but taste unique as well.

One of the main reasons why I wanted to try Eight was after I saw their Sweet Potato Short Ribs on instagram. Comes with a special sauce, topped with marinated short ribs and crispy onions; definitely worth trying. The only thing I would change is switching short ribs to mashed beef.

I had a their Crispy Salad, the portion was bigger than I expected. It has a mix of greens with crispy tortilla sweet potato and beetroot mix with a spicy sauce. The salad tasted good but wasn’t that crispy, which wasn’t a bad thing really.
